My current unit brand is sinosmart. The lcdconfig file is from the original sinosmart firmware. The question is whether I include this lcdconfig file when I flashing to other manufacturer firmware.
Friend this will not change anything in relation to your screen so you don't need to touch it but I will leave the file available for you, but remember and at your own risk, I do some things in my guinea pig radio to help the community, so sometimes it can go wrong ok.You can flash lcdconfig file with lsec6315update. Make sure your radio is the same screen as this Mipi print

@[email protected] : You mentioned that you have the entire collection of the lcdconfig files for the Mekede M6Pro and likewise models from other resellers, and that you were willing to distribute them.
I can't find anywhere on the forum if you already did this.
If not, can you please share them.
If you already shared them, please give a link to the post.
EDIT: Never mind, I already downloaded them from another location.

Personally I don't ever upload MCU files.
They don't need updated, it offers absolutely no benefit what so ever.
I have never seen a post where an issue has been fixed by an MCU update on an FYT 7862 device, but I have seen dozens where they have gone wrong.
No manufacturer adds them as standard to these devices.
If you aren't changing the screen, don't use a 6315lcdconfig file.
thanks man I appreciated it. I am having issues with the unit randomly rebooting and thought could be the MCU as after I reset still persisted but I did flash last night an updated firmware with date of 2022 and for my surprise it fixed other issues that I did not know the unit had like play store and chrome not updating and also a few software issues that I thought were normal for a Chinese unit. I will try and run this update to see if it solved the issue
hi all! I'm new here, so I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies. Does anyone know where in Europe to buy a head unit in UIC7862 for Honda Jazz 2003? for example MEKEDE. I don’t want to buy in China, because I pay a lot for customs clearance. Thank you
For example, by updating the MCU on many devices, a bug with incorrect backlighting of buttons on the side panel was fixed.

Yes, I received that one. Thank you.
I thought you mentioned that the lcdconfig files were just a bunch of config files in a zip. That is how I downloaded them from 4pda.
I can't even find them inside the 3 files on that download page.
But I downloaded 40~60 config files from 4pda
Hi. I have Mekede M6 Pro Plus. I have a question regarding wifi. My unit can hotspot via 5Ghz Wifi, but it cannot connect to an 5Ghz hotspot of an iPhone? Does the 5Ghz wifi only work for thetering?

Hi
I did ... i had to set the default sys.fyt.bluetooth_type=1 to sys.fyt.bluetooth_type=0 in the config
after that it never disconnected and the responsiveness of hondash was normal like on phone. -

Yes!
In the APP folder, applications will be "system".
From the folder Vital-App will be installed as "third party", with the possibility of removal.4
I have a bench test setup for the units I resell, just chopped up a spare harness and spliced into some banana plugs connecting to a 12v power supply. To power on the unit, you just need +12v on the yellow and red wires (pins 2/3), and ground the black wire (pin 1). You can also wire up anything else you want to test, such as illumination, reverse, speaker output, etc43Hi all,
So I decided to give the firmware flashing a try.
I'd edited the fyt.prop from the AllAppUpdate.bin of the Joying 1280 x 720 MIPI Screen New UI firmware using Notepad++ to change ro.fyt.uiid= from 2 to 4, then got the 5 files in my formatted USB drive and got down to it.
I ended up with this:
And after the GOOGLE word loading was done and it rebooted I got this:
And it went into a loop
Am I understanding it correctly that the problem was specifically with the config.txt file and not the rest of the files?
Anyway, I decided to download a fresh copy of the Joying firmware, and this time I thought about what @bluemask69 said about not changing the uiid and I decided to try a Hail Mary and straight copying the 5 files from the new download over to the (re)formatted USB drive, unmolested i.e. I did not make any changes at all, ro.fyt.uiid=2 was left untouched.
And it worked I did not get any errors during or after. The GOOGLE word during the loading was upright this time ... the previous failed flashing the GOOGLE word loading was -90degrees like the above photos.
I don't understand though ... in a full firmware flash, the original company's boot animation still remains?I see @surfer63's guide to change boot animation, but does anyone know where I get my hands on the Joying boot animation that corresponds with this particular firmware?EDIT: Nevermind, I found this firmware’s “Powered by Android” logo … selected it, and now the original company’s is gone.
Hi all ... I had an issue which turned out to be a setting I assume I’d set previously (I can’t remember it) but got wiped during the flash to the Joying 15 May 2023 update. I assumed it was a problem with the firmware, and I tried PeaceOS, which faced the same issue … I later realised what the issue was and set it correctly.
However, due to curiosity and (no offence, please) PeaceOS isn’t quite for me … so I decided to revert to the Joying firmware, but at the same time try some modifications:
- Unzipping AllAppUpdate.bin and deleting UI4 and UI6; default launcher in config.txt was changed from UI6 to UI13
- Deleting the stock Joying Radio and Music folders and replacing them with the ones from PeaceOS (if this is something frowned upon, I apologise, but it was for testing purposes)
And I got the config.txt read file fail + loop again
I tried several variations, but nothing worked … kept ending up with the same thing.
I then decided to try 1 last thing - download 7Zip and used that to repack AllAppUpdate.bin …
… and it worked
Conclusion: WinRAR works only with unzipping … I can unzip firmwares and AllAppUpdate.bin files with it, a firmware update directly unzipped into a USB stick using WinRAR without any modifications works … WinRAR just isn’t working correctly (at least, for me) with the repacking of AllAppUpdate.bin. For this repacking, it really is best to use 7Zip as stated in @surfer63 ’s guide.
So I currently have the Joying 15 May 2023 firmware with PeaceOS’s black-and-white stock music and radio apps, and I am able to install / uninstall UI4s and UI6s from @mariodantas ‘s site. All seems stable for now … will monitor for a bit.3 -

This thread tries to be a "one fits all" thread about FYT based Spreadtrum Unisoc uis7862(s) (Unisoc ums512) and uis8581a (sc9863) head units and its software, modded or not. The first few posts will be "collection" posts for all kind of info but will also link to other useful information that might be added later or in other threads.
Part of the tips, mods, etcetera are also valid for FYT based sc9853i head units, and even for the older PX5 and Sofia-3GR.
DISCLAIMER: Every action you do on your unit is on your own responsibility. I will help where I can (and probably a lot of other users as well), but I am never responsible.
This thread is meant for:
- Discussing firmwares (see post #2), modded firmwares, mods and rooting (not advised).
- Tips, tricks, mods to improve the general usability of your unit.
- Try to solve design errors/flaws where we expect that these Chinese resellers/suppliers will not do it.
- buyers advice (is this one better than that one?)
- 4G providers, DAB+ modules or DAB+ software (see here for DAB-Z by @realzoulou), Navradio+ (see NavRadio+ ported to UIS7862-FYT devices by @KoTiX2 , sub-woofers, OEM cameras, OBD devices, TPMS or other peripheral devices.
- ABSOLUTELY NOT for posts about "what is/are your favorite app(s)?"
- Questions about repairs, warranty and the like. That is between you and the reseller. Questions about interchangeabilty of hardware are OK.
General unit information
Q&A - Questions & Answers
FYT Settings explained
Mods, useful software, tweaks for your system, etcetera.
Some will be added later
- Backup the firmware of your unit (see post #4). Useful if you do not have a firmware yet for your unit.
- Disable or (re-)enable the mediaplayer at startup/wakeup.
- Change Fytmanufacturer script to correct the fytmanufacturer id after a flash with another resellers AllAppUpdate.bin bullet #3).
- DocumentsUI for Android 10. Without it you can't write to an external USB drive with other file managers. That is because the documentsUI is missing. Install it, open it once and afterwards your file managers can use it to get access.
- Android Shortcut Settings: This program by Mario Dantas gives you access to some hidden settings in the (FYT) head units.
- Mario Dantas (@mariodantas ) created/build the website "uis7862 FYT Factory":
- A great and very extensive collection of launchers for FYT models and also a collection of (un)rooted kernels for your unit. (Read post #2 section III "The 6315_1.zip" for more info on kernels and how universal they are.)
- He now also created a new firmware (MD-edition) that after flashing gives you some very handy and essentials options for on-the-fly rooting and root access for selected apps, starting apps from boot, make firmware backups, save your /data/data partition, etc.
- @seb21 made a modded combination of the com_syu_ms.apk and a Config.apk. This combi allows you to change the "hard-coded" steering wheel buttons in case you have/use a CANbus and add "no kill" functionality. See Modded syu.ms.apk.
- getinfo script. This is in fact an extension of my HWGetInfo.apk, but as an lsec script. It gives more info than the HWGetInfo.apk as it runs as a flashable script thereby having full access to the system.
- Disable airconditions app on Tesla style uis7862/8581a units (see post #1780)
- Modded Launcher 34 (see thread "Modded Launcher 34 for uis7862(s) and uis8581a (and probably uis8514a)")

More about Firmware(s)
This post is valid for FYT uis7862(s) (ums512) and uis8581a (sc9863) units running Android 10 or fake Android 11 or 12.
Contents of a firmware zip:
Note that the firmwares for the uis7862 and the uis8581a only differ on the flashing binary and the kernel zip. Configuration files are the same. Some resellers deliver a firmware that contain two kernel zips and two flashing binaries, as the flashing binary will only work on the hardware it is intended for flashing the correct kernel zip.
- Kernel:
- 6315_1.zip: the kernel zip for the uis7862(s).
- 6316_1.zip: the kernel zip for the uis8581a.
- The 6315_1.zip or 6316_1.zip zip file contains all "standard" Android software, drivers and apks. It also contains the the boot.img; the system/vendor/oem partitions and a few other things. This 6315_1.zip for the uis7862 "should" be interchangeable between all 800x480, 1024x600 and 1280x720 models. The same for the 6316_1.zip for the uis8581a. Special resolutions come with specific lcdconfig.txt files.
- The binaries that do the flashing of the firmware:
- lsec6315update for the uis7862(s)
- lsec6316update for the uis8581a.
- These are the binaries that do the flashing of the firmware, optionally install a boot image or boot animation, optionally run scrips from the lsec_update folder after the flashing process itself has finished. These binaries can also be used to only flash a boot image, boot animation, or run scripts.
- AllAppUpdate.bin: Special zip file that contains all FYT apps (This can be (un)packed with any (un)zipper, but I prefer 7-zip). This file also contains special files with reseller specific configs. This one is only interchangeable between the same reseller-id, unless you change that reseller-id or use the scripts from post #3, bullet #4.
- config.txt: file comparible to the build.prop which can contain additional properties.
- oem: (OPTIONAL, DEPRECATED) Folder containing some additional apps. These are not automatically installed, but can be found in folder OEM in your internal memory (internal SC card called USB). Do not confuse this with the oem partition where the AllAppUpdate.bin will be installed to. I use this folder upon flashing to add some of my preferred apps that I want to have available, but not directly installed. Note: Nowadays the preferred location for these kind of apps is in the vital-app folder inside the AllAppUpdate.bin.
- updatecfg.txt: Contains instructions for the flashing process
- Stm32ud.bin: (OPTIONAL) binary to flash the MCU
- GD32_E230_64K_Flash.Hex: (OPTIONAL) the hex file that contains the MCU firmware itself. These are very limited cross-compatible. do not flash these if your do not know exactly what you are doing.
I. (Factory) Firmwares
Some commands that can be put inside updatecfg.txt
Code:twipe_all # Wipe entire system. twipe_data # Will wipe data partition (but not /sdcard, internal memory). Wiping the /data partition will wipe all config, all 3rd party apps and updates of system apps. This is the same as a "reset to factory defaults" twipe_cache # Will wipe the cache of the apps thereby removing the temporary files that are stored for those programs. twipe_sd # Will wipe internal memory /sdcard (but not the data partition) dellapp # Remove all 3rd party apps make_updates # Make an upgrade U-disk boot file test # test unit and firmware before flash
Some properties that can be put inside config.txt. Say you live in Brazil and you want your locale settings immediately on Brazil, you can add that. As a second example we take a "Tesla style" unit which is actually a rotated horizontal unit. You see that we specify 0 from the rotation. This is because android is normally for portrait like screens. Our landscape models have a value ro.sf.swrotation=90 decrees as they are actually 90 degrees rotated. A Tesla style unit therefore is again 0 degrees and sometimes 180 degrees.
Or you want to improve the microphone function a little, you can add or modify the following lines:Code:ro.product.locale = pt_BR ro.sf.swrotation=0
If you decide to download a 4pda Russian modded firmware, make sure you remove the settings from this config.txt file that makes this a Russian firmware (unless you are Russian, but in that case you probably would not be here).Code:persist.sys.zlink.mic.vol=9.9 persist.audio.mic.senstivity=1 persist.btmic.gain=10 persist.btspk.gain=7
28-05-2023: I added two scripts in post #3 under bullet #4 to let you flash any AllAppUpdate.bin to your uis7862(s) or uis8581a unit.
II. AllAppUpdate.bin
III. The 6315_1.zip or 6316_1.zip
Again: the 6315_1.zip is the kernel for the uis7862. The 6316_1.zip is the kernel for the uis8581a.
(Inside also "III-a. More details about the files inside the 6315_1.zip/6316_1.zip and how to decompress and unpack/"open" them" and "III-b. Recompress uncompressed images from the 6315_1.zip/6316_1.zip to squashfs format for small (!) and easy access. (Not for flashing.)")
IV. Some info on partitions
V. The lsec_updatesh folder, lsec6315update/lsec6316update binary and 7862lsec.sh/8581lsec.sh script (and what about "universal" scripts)
VI. Compatibilty between uis7862 (ums512) Firmwares
VII. FYT firmware types over the different CPU configurations
VIII. Flashing a Full firmware, an AllAppUpdate.bin or a new system/kernel/core from another reseller
IX. If everything goes wrong and your unit ends up in a boot loop or doesn't get past the boot logo.
26Backup the application data of your uis78672 (ums512) unit (or your sc9863a (uis8581a) unit).
This is especially useful if you do not have an official firmware from your supplier yet. The kernel/cores are universal on these FYT uis7862/uis8581a units, but the AppUpdate is not.
This works on both the uis7862 and the uis8581a. I don't have this ui8581a unit but it is actually the same for these two types of FYT units.
It will actually also make a backup of your sc9853i unit, but there it requires some extra follow up steps. Next to that: There are already many firmwares that can simply be downloaded.
This script will create a directly flashable backup!
appBackup script
- Unzip the contents of this zip onto a clean usb-stick.
- Insert it into your unit and let it reboot.
- It will make a backup of the specific firmware part into folder BACKUP onto the USB-stick (which should therefore have >1GB free space).
- When it is done, you will have four (4) files in this BACKUP folder: AllAppUpdate.bin, config.txt, lsec6315update or lsec6316update, and updatecfg.txt
- If you copy these four files to a clean usb-disk and also copy an 6315_1.zip (for uis7862) or a 6316_1.zip (for a uis8581), you can always restore your unit to its factory settings.
Restore option I:
For a uis7862: Copy the AllAppUpdate.bin, config.txt, lsec6315update, updatecfg.txt from the BACKUP folder onto a clean USB-stick. Insert that one in your unit and let it flash your unit.
For a uis8581: Copy the AllAppUpdate.bin, config.txt, lsec6316update, updatecfg.txt from the BACKUP folder onto a clean USB-stick. Insert that one in your unit and let it flash your unit.
Restore option II:
In case option I still gives you an unstable system, you need to do a complete flash. For that you also need to flash a new kernel/core.
- Download the universal kernel/core for uis7862 (current version: 07 December 2021). (For uis8581 download yourself)
- Unzip it to the same USB-stick which you used in "option I". This means that this content will be added to the USB-stick. It will not replace the content.
- Insert that one in your unit and let it flash your unit.
21Mods and Tweaks
==================================================================================
1. disable or (re-)enable the mediaplayer at startup/wakeup.
FYT mimics the behaviour of many builtin car units that it continues with the player or radio or BT connected phone player, that was active during "switch off". These 2 scripts can disable that behaviour (I want silence when I start my car) or enable it again (default FYT behaviour). This is a shameless copy of @gordgelin scripts with a slight modification where @gordgelin adds the command at the 16th line whereas most standard firmwares have max 8 lines or so. My script simply adds the line to 4th line of config.txt. Works on uis7862 (ums512), sc9863a (uis8581a) and sc9853i (could easily be ported to other FYT units as well).
==================================================================================
2. Script to correct the fytmanufacturer id in the fyt.prop
In case you get a big yellow bar with red letters in the top of screen saying "UI and MCU does not match", your fytmanufacturer id (ro.build.fytmanufacturer= XY) is incorrect.. (See also Q13/A in post 1 and section II. and vI. in post 2.
If you still know the original id, you can use this script to correct that entry again without completely reflashing your unit.
Read the README.txt carefully !!
You can download this script: ChangeFytmanufacturer
==================================================================================
3. Script to correct the screen orientation of your unit.
Probably you are here because you did not read the Forum well enough (especially "VIII. Flashing a Full firmware, an AllAppUpdate.bin or a new system/kernel/core from another reseller" in post #2 and flashed a firmware to your FYT with a different screen orientation.
What does this script do?
It can set the correct orientation for your screen. This is set by a property called "ro.sf.swrotation=xy", where xy is a value of 0, 90, 180 or 270 . Use the value from YOUR ORIGINAL firmware in the config.txt.
You will find a config.txt with this script that contains the default value for most units being ro.sf.swrotation=90
In case you have no longer your original firmware you simply need to experiment with the above values until you have the right one.
You can download this script: ro.sf.swrotation
==================================================================================
4. Two scripts to flash any FYT AllAppUpdate.bin to your unit.
EDIT: Some of the new Mekede M6Pro models and comparables from other resellers come with an lcdconfig for their 2000x1200 K screens. My scripts below do not take those files into account. I "think" that when you encounter an lcdconfig on the new downloaded firmware, you have to remove it and stick to the one installed on your unit.
What do these scripts do and how to use them
These scripts are for both the uis7862 (ums512) and for the UIS8581a (sc9863a).
The AllAppUpdate.bin, that contains the FYT application layer, is for both CPUs the same.
The scripts make a copy of your current config and use that to flash your unit using that config of your unit.
Some information to start with
FYT units do have an MCU and based on the type of manufacturer you can have a different MCU firmware. This MCU firmware is totally different from the normal downloadable firmware that you can get for your unit having new functionality, bugfixes, etcetera..
The Android layer is universal on FYTs but works slighly different for different MCUs.
How this Android layer should act on the underlaying MCU is determined by a property called ro.build.fytmanufacturer which can have several values.
A second and third property are the:
- sys.fyt.bluetooth_type property which is normally 0 or 1, but on the new M6Pro/M6Plus models anything up to 7
- ro.sf.swrotation. This property defines the screen orientation and is in 95% of the cases 90 (degrees), for Joyings often 270 and for Tesla screens (0 or 180).
Important
BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING TO YOUR UNIT, YOU FIRST NEED TO RUN THE "PRE-FLASH" SCRIPT !!
Steps to perform
- Take a clean FAT32 formatted USB-stick (or a (micro-)SD-card in some USB reader/writer).
- Copy the contents inside the "pre-flash" folder onto the USB-stick (not the pre-flash folder with contents, but the contents inside the pre-flash folder).
- Insert it into your unit, let it reboot and go into recovery mode, and wait until the green message tells you that you can remove it again.
- Delete the "lsec_updatesh" folder including contents on your USB-stick !
- Make sure to keep the "myconfiguration" folder and check its contents: It must contain a config.txt and a fyt.prop. If correct: copy this myconfiguration also to a save place. You never know when you need a backup. If the folder does not contain those files or one of them, then don't continue but ask in the forum.
- Copy the AllAppUpdate.bin that you downloaded somewhere onto the USB-stick.
- Also flashing the 6315_1.zip or 6316_1.zip?
- UIS7862: If you want to flash the kernel as well, copy the 6315_1.zip onto the USB-stick.
- UIS8581a: If you want to flash the kernel as well, copy the 6316_1.zip onto the USB-stick.
- Now copy the contents of the "flash" folder onto the USB-stick.
- Check your "lsec_updatesh" folder. Do you now also have a "lsec_updatesh (1)" folder, or inside the "lsec_updatesh" folder something like a "7862 (1).sh"? It means that you did not delete the "lsec_updatesh" folder on the USB-stick, or that your file manager does not overwrite on copying. In this case: Redo step 4.
- Copy (not move) the config.txt inside the "myconfiguration" folder into the root of the USB-stick.
- You can now flash your unit using this USB-stick.
Remarks
- If you are thinking of using this in combination with @mariodantas' kernel, you need to know what you do. Mario's kernel comes with its own scripts and fmc app. Of course you can combine this if you know what you do, but do not simply copy everything on top of each other on this USB-stick. Please keep it separate.
- You can also combine it with PeaceOS, but also in this case @LLIyT_HuK's version comes with it's own scripts. So know what you do.
- The flashing script uses "twipe_data" in its "updatecfg.txt". This will clear your settings and all 3rd party apps which you downloaded from the Play Store or sideloaded from other locations. You can disable that by putting a # in front of the twipe_data line, but that is your own responsibility.
- Most newer firmwares nowadays come with an lsec script and a fyt_build.prop. This fyt_build.prop comes with a fake property to set Android to 11 or 12. I refuse to go with that absolutely incorrect and despicable behavior and I will not copy it.
- Once you have made your pre-flash copy of your config, you can also use the flash script to copy any modified fyt.prop or config.txt to your unit without using an AllAppUpdate.bin.
You can download both scripts in one zip: flash_any_AllAppUpdate.zip12
Hi.
Maybe i have solution for you.
I have modded the ms.apk to add some extra functionality. One of the extras is to modify Canbus based Steering Wheel Controls. The mod is two part : modded ms.apk and settings app.
All info is in explanation.txt file.
You must replace your syu.ms.apk with this modded apk. Mod Config App.apk is normally installed as every apk.
